My mom used to make a shells & cheese dish with velveeta cheese when I was a child which used bacon and canned tomatoes. This is my short-cut which tastes 99% like the one mom used to make. Mine is made with a store bought pasta sauce. Note: This is also great when you add 1 cup chopped & cooked chicken breast to the alfredo sauce mixture. Ingredients:
15 ounces classico sun dried tomato alfredo sauce |
4 slices bacon |
1 lb shell pasta or 1 lb ravioli |
1/3 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Boil shell pasta according to package directions.
2. Fry bacon, drain on paper towell. Chop.
3. Discard bacon drippings, set pan aside (do not wipe clean).
4. Drain Pasta.
5. Add pasta to pan that bacon was cooked in; stir fry pasta for 3-5 minutes until coated slightly. If using ravioli, let brown.
6. Add pasta sauce and bacon - stir gently to coat.
7. Pour milk into jar with remaining sauce. Add lid and shake.
8. Combine with sauce in Pan.
9. Allow mixture to simmer until sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
